Hi All, i have fnally managed to obtain a wedling glass and have attached it to a cokin lens attachment, now.... when i take a shot i kno wi have to focus it first, then attach the filter, but how do i get rid of the green cast......i shoot in raw, but changing the white balance in raw doesnt correct it. what am i doing wrong? is there a way of setting the white balance in the camera first to allow for the cast?

Shooting in raw and adjusting the WB is the easiest and most flexible way of doing this.

I didn't shoot enough to see what settings I would use for different light situations but on a light, slightly hazy day I found the following worked for the most part in Lightroom to give me a good starting point for further colour adjustments:

Temp: 4800K
Tint: 140

You can set a manual white balance with a grey card, or white paper, (may have to change the function button to do this) check the manual for your camera, under one touch WB.

Just tried the temp 4800 and tint 140 on one of my pics and worked quite well, but my dream picture still looked better in b&w. I found it easier to mount my welding glass to a piece of sleeping foam with a 58mm hole cut in, this cut out all the reflections I kept getting and it was quicker to focus etc then slip it on. My welding glass wouldnt slide into its cokin slot easily did you modify yours.
